All prices are in USD. Your account confirms purchase availability and eligibility before checkout. Review the order total before paying. Downloading the developer preview does not place an order, start a paid term, or add credits.

Compare the paid Trial and monthly plans.

The Trial is a one-time purchase, available once per account. Monthly plans renew and grant a new allowance each billing month. A credit is a unit of usage, not a fixed number of edits or finished videos.

On a small screen, scroll the table sideways to compare both credit balances.

Trial credits expire 30 days from purchase. The Trial does not automatically become a monthly subscription. Unused ordinary subscription credits do not expire while your account remains active, including after a paid term ends.

Choose an allowance for the tasks you expect to run, then check each task's quote. Captions, analysis, and editing requests can cost different amounts; a monthly allowance is not a promise of unlimited AI use.

Early Bird: $5 once for your first Hobby term.

The separate Early Bird offer is $5 total, including tax, for one 30-day Hobby term, 100 Creative Credits and 100 Edit Credits. There is no automatic renewal. A standard $12.99/month Hobby subscription is a separate, optional purchase.

Payment creates an order awaiting access. It does not start the term or add credits. We will make access available by October 13, 2026, at 23:59:59 UTC. Only your explicit activation after delivery starts the 30 days and grants the credits. The invitation gives you 30 days to activate; unclaimed orders are refunded under the offer terms.

Complete checkout before its expiry, no later than the sale deadline: October 12, 2026, at 23:59 UTC. New checkout sessions must be started before 23:30 UTC that day. An existing valid session never lasts beyond October 13 at 00:00 UTC. A later payment confirmation does not invalidate an eligible checkout completed before its deadline.

One Early Bird redemption per account. It does not replace or extend an existing paid subscription. Unused Early Bird credits remain spendable under ordinary credit rules while your account remains active, even after the first term ends. You can request a full refund before activation.

Check live Early Bird availability and read the full delivery, activation, and refund terms before buying.

Add credits to an active plan.

A $15 one-time top-up adds 100 Creative Credits and 100 Edit Credits. It requires an active plan; your account confirms eligibility. A top-up adds usage credits and is not a new subscription.

Top-up credits do not expire while your account remains active. Plan credits are spent first. Check the balance of both credit types before buying: Creative Credits and Edit Credits pay for different work.

Check top-up availability in your account.

What do AI credits pay for?

Creative Credits cover cloud analysis, Smart Captions, voiceover, and supported creative generation tools. Edit Credits cover cloud-assisted editing requests. Review the quoted cost before starting a task; one request may use more than one credit.

A 90-second analysis example.

Audio only analysis costs 2 Creative Credits per started minute. Video + audio costs 5 Creative Credits per started minute. A single 90-second source that needs fresh analysis therefore costs 4 Creative Credits for Audio only or 10 for Video + audio.

Each unique source is rounded up separately using its full duration. Two separate 30-second sources also cost 4 or 10 Creative Credits in those modes. Trimming a source on the timeline does not reduce its analysis duration. Changing the goal or mode may require fresh analysis and a new quote.

These are analysis examples, not caption or editing prices. Smart Captions and editing requests have their own quotes. Audio-only analysis cannot inspect faces, framing, or on-screen text; choose Video + audio when the task needs that information.

Manual timeline changes and local export do not spend AI credits. A successful cloud generation can be charged even if you do not apply its result. Undo changes the edit, not that completed charge. Failed jobs release their reserved credits.

What renews, and how do I cancel?

Hobby, Creator, and Studio are monthly subscriptions. They renew until cancelled. You can cancel through the account controls or contact support; cancellation stops the next renewal. Access continues through the current paid billing period unless applicable law requires otherwise.

The paid Trial, top-ups, and Early Bird are one-time purchases. They do not start an automatic monthly subscription. Previously issued credits keep the terms disclosed when they were issued.

For refunds, duplicate charges, or service problems, read the Refund and Cancellation Policy. Early Bird's specific pre-activation refund promise is in its offer terms. A request or pending refund is not a completed refund.

Before you buy.

Do I need a Mac?

The current developer preview supports Apple silicon Macs running macOS 12 or later. Importing local media, refining the timeline, and final export happen in the Mac app. The web workspace is for synced projects, reviewing changes, and your account.

Does downloading include free AI credits?

No. The installer is separate from paid offers and does not add credits. Account access is required for the workspace, and cloud tools require an internet connection and sufficient credits. Start with the Mac setup guide and check the account before running a cloud task.

Where can I ask about a charge?

Contact support with the account email and order or request ID. Do not send passwords, verification codes, or complete payment details. You can also email David.
